Energy available to do work
Gibbs Free Energy
What is the formula for Gibbs Free Energy?
ΔG = ΔH -TΔS
ΔG means
Change in Gibbs Free Energy
ΔH means
Change in Enthaply or Heat
T means
Temperature (K)
ΔS
Change in Entropy (the chaos)
What is the Delta Gibbs formula?
ΔG = ΔGf - ΔGi
ΔGf means
Final Gibbs
ΔGi means
Inital Gibbs
Energy has to enter the system (has to be brought in)
Endergonic Reaction
Endergonic Reaction
Products end with more energy than reactants
Endergonic Reaction
Energy has to leave the system (to be let out)
Exergonic Reaction
Exergonic Reaction
Biologival Catalyst
Speeds up chemical reactions
Reduces the activation energy
Function of Enzymes
_______ are proteins
Enzymes
Are not consumed by the reaction
Have no effect on the change in Gibbs Free Energy
Enzymes
_________ binds to the active site of an enzyme
Substrate
Compete for the bind of the active site
Competitive Inhibitors
Example of a Competitive Inhibitor
Morphine as it replaces Endorphines
Binds to an allosteric (not original) site causing the active site to change shape
Noncompetitive Inhibitors
When a protein loses it’s shape and stops working properly. This could be caused by a change in Temperature, PH activity, or Certain Chemicals
